Thankfully Mich was home to stop the blaze in its tracks, but the results could of the freak accident could have been devastating if left for any longer.
Explaining that she had arrived home and ‘could smell burning from upstairs’, the former Liberty X singer added that she was ‘so so lucky’ to have came home just in time to stop the fire.
Michelle shared: ‘My vanity mirror I use everyday and leave everyday on my dresser must have been in direct sun light and it’s burnt and melted my window frame with the reflection of the sun.’

Fans have been quick to comment on Michelle’s important advice. One user shared: ‘My husband always turns mine around and I thought he was just being silly. This is crazy! Thank you for sharing x’.

Whilst Michelle had a very lucky escape from the house flames, fellow star Katie Price sadly didn’t manage to avoid her own inferno – and recently suffered a house fire after leaving a candle unattended.
Earlier in September, a report published by The Sun claimed Katie’s home had suffered some damage after a rug set ablaze.
A source told The Sun Online: ‘The fire started in Jett’s bedroom, which is on the first floor, and quickly spread throughout the room.’
Thankfully, the damage was kept to a reported minimum.
